What James Bond items are you collecting?

What items are you collecting or what are the best items you have in your collection. If every member replies, this post could lead to a directory of collectors....then maybe people could help others to get what they want.

Me personally i collect any pre 1997 diecast models. Some of the hightlights of my collection are a Corgi Juniors Extra OHMSS VW Beetle, a Johnny Lightning KBToys Internet Exclusive Aston, 2 silver Danbury Mint Astons (complete), a couple of 007 Corgi rockets and a mint condition Corgi Jaws van.

Incidently, one of the Danbury Astons has a letter from Aston Martin with item proclaiming it to be the most accurate Aston Martin model they have ever seen. Anybody else get one of these with theirs?

I have looked extensively around the internet (many moons ago i used to run a website called www.007corgi.com - now gone) and appart from Epay, there are not many resources for James Bond diecast or old diecast for that matter, i suppose
people with shops or trade stalls use Epay because its established etc but the sites that ihave seen (none affiliated with myself) are
www.uniquecollections.co.uk
www.vectis.co.uk
www.collectorscave.co.uk
www.the-internet-agency.com/abbeymodels/
www.qualitydiecasttoys.com
www.mintinbox.com
www.die-cast-toys.com

I have bought items from the above sites and have always been very pleased with the service and descriptions.

Top quality, related items on the above sites include a Corgi OHMSS Beetle, a Corgi OHMSS pre-production Bobsleigh, a mint condition Jaws van, various rare colour Corgi Rockets, some absolute mint in box James Bond related diecast (although you will pay a premium) and plenty of other Dinky, Spot-on, Corgi, Budgie and Matchbox itmes.

Anyway, i would be very interested to see what you are collecting....

I collect a lot of James Bond items.
DVDs, CDs, Posters, Novels, Books, Action figures (both the Sideshow ones and various others) and I also have the recently-released Corgi vehicles, the OHMSS DBS and TSWLM Lotus Espirit.
But my one big passion is collecting James Bond movie props!
The best one I have (so far) is the Radioactive-Core Extraction Device that was used by the beautiful Denise Richards in TWINE.
I also have one of Stromberg's Soldier's berets from TSWLM, a Casino de Isthmus City $10,000 Chip that was used by Timothy Dalton in LTK, and a backup Portuguese Calendar Page from OHMSS. Just to name a few!

I'm not much of a collector but my best Item is my 1965 Original Corgi 261 Aston Martin DB5 Golfinger edition. Worth a lot of money! one went on ebay for 300 pounds in the same condition as mine

I also have other models but nothing beats the Aston Martin

You lucky guy!
I saw the original 1965 Goldfinger Corgi car in a display case at a comic store in Melbourne (along with a 1960's Batmobile, and a few other collectibles).
I'm good friends with the staff there, and they said it's not for sale, no matter how much I was willing to pay!

I collect James Bond autographs - i like to collect autographs from the minor and background characters. There more exciting as there rare and uncommon unlike the ones you always see.
